We should never forget that islamic ideology is, for the most part, medieval. It is foolish, under current weakness of western civilization, to think that this can't be a danger. But right-wing politicians step up the threat. They really think the West is stronger than ever, and think of "religious war" as a mere propaganda device to keep a fearful populace under control.
In fact, the West is financially strong, but nevertheless weaker in many economical and social aspects. Globalization severely affected western economy and the self-esteem of its work force. Put on top of this the looming menace of climatic instability (and possible change). The West will be, for the next century, under heavy stress.
We need stabilization efforts. We need vision in our diplomacy and economic policies. We need sustainable economic development, we need and end to the bad habit of externalization of social and ecological costs. These policies create tensions that are easily exploited by populist ideologies like islamism. They also create huge migratory flux that endanger the social cohesion of some european nations. These invisible debts are piling up now, and payment will soon be due (with interest). Then, we won't be in any position to sustain military confrontations. - a guestMon, 22 Jan 2007 13:03:33 +0100
